I don't think this place can do anything poorly, the food is so dang good. The lines are insane almost any time of day, but a pro tip is to avoid them by ordering online on their website! Your food will be ready in about 10-15 minutes. There is seating to sit and dine but it's always so busy and can be hard to find a spot to sit so we just walked down the street to a little park area and devoured our burgers and sides. Don't miss this place if you can help it!

We had to wait outside a bit for a table. It was pretty annoying to be kicked off the wifi for no reason halfway through and having to rejoin though The servers were nice, though we barely interacted with them aside from ordering and them delivering our food. The food and drinks came out pretty fast, which was nice Overall a good place, my only complaint being the wifi issue and the fact that the bathroom feels like its in the backrooms of a supply closet

A friend recommended this place to me so on one of the mornings I got up to try it out. I came in…read morearound 7:30am and there were only a few other tables occupied. I ordered my go-to breakfast item, which is their Vudu Benedict ($30NZD), along with a cup of their Housemade Lemon Honey Ginger ($6). You order at their counter in the middle of the shop, and then they give you a number to take to your table. The tea came out pretty quickly, and the benedict followed maybe about 10 minutes after. The benedict was good, and while there was only 1 egg, the whole thing stuffed me for hours afterwards. The bread at the bottom was definitely the most filling part, and I was struggling to finish it all. They had a glass display with various bakery items, and they looked so good I was so tempted to get something even though I was stuffed from the benedict. If I ever come back to Queenstown I would definitely be coming back here to try some of those bakery items.

I may be biased because I'm coming from San Francisco where we have really good Asian food and fusion food. But I felt like the shaking beef sauce was way too sweet and overpowering, but the cook on the beef was amazing. the curry was a little bit, lacking in flavor and the chicken just seemed like grilled chicken thrown into the sauce rather than cinnamon within the sauce. The tuna and the nachos was really good, but the sauce is overpowered the taste. The kokoda was actually one of my favorite dishes though. Service was good overall. You go up and pay at the end.

Based on the reviews, I expected quite a lot. In reality, this was just a good meal…read more In Queenstown for a few days so I booked a reservation at Botswana Butchery because it polls highly on the review sites. I ordered the French onion soup for an entree, the venison for the main plus the duck fat potatoes. Hands down the French onion soup was the most delicious thing I had all night, and probably in my two weeks in New Zealand. It was fantastic. The venison came out. Great presentation. But even with the sauces that it came with--the exception being the *two* bits of onion that came with the meal--it was very average. Not bad. It was cooked well. Rare as the chef suggested. But there was little there there. Definitely not as flavorsome as the French onion soup which set my expectations really high. Then the duck fat potatoes--are just potatoes? Like, literally chucks of potatoes (cooked well) but without any seasoning. No sauce. Nothing. Very bland potatoes. So in the end you had this really clunky meal that wasn't overwhelmingly delicious. It was just good. But this is meant to be a bit of an upscale joint for Queenstown, so it misses the mark. The exception to all of this mediocrity was the service. The service was impeccable. I should note there was a bit of time between the starter & the main but that's probably more of a back of the house issue. They do know how to cook things well, so I think if you come here for a steak, you probably won't be terribly disappointed. I expected a bit more. All that said, I would come back and drink gallons of that soup.
